The facts are in and the evidence is conclusive. Larry Silverstein, who stood to
gain $500 million, and the federal government, gave the order to destroy World
Trade Center Building 7 and admitted it on a primetime PBS documentary.

Please link this and give it coverage! Alex got knocked off the air 5 times in
10 minutes talking about this. THEY don't want the story to get out!

And at last count, there were a dozen U.S. Congressional Committees
investigating the tragedies and how such an intelligence and security breakdown
was allowed to occur.

But President George W. Bush and his right-hand man, Vice President Dick Cheney,
have taken the unprecedented step of trying to restrict those investigations,
pouring fuel on the simmering conspiracy theories being propagated in
alternative publications, on wingnut Web sites and among some serious media
outlets.
In Germany, a former minister of technology, Andreas von Buelow, made headlines
when in an interview he dismissed the U.S. government's explanation that Osama
bin Laden's al-Qaida network is responsible for the attacks. His own explanation
implicated the White House.

"I wonder why many questions are not asked," von Buelow said. "For 60 decisive
minutes, the military and intelligence agencies let the fighter planes stay on
the ground; 48 hours later, however, the FBI presented a list of suicide
attackers. Within 10 days, it emerged that seven of them were still alive."
In Britain, a flight engineer has published a detailed paper asserting the U.S.
took the joysticks out of the pilots' hands using a method of remote control
developed by the American military in the 1970s.

In the U.S. and Canada, independent publisher and editor Mike Ruppert (a former
LAPD cop who hates the CIA) has drawn huge crowds to his two-hour lecture in
which he states baldly that the U.S. government was complicit in the attacks and
had foreknowledge. He opens his documentary presentation with an offer of $1,000
US to anyone who can prove any of his sources were misrepresented or
inauthentic.
A former U.S. government agent also has given interviews claiming the CIA has
been dealing with Osama bin Laden since 1987.
According to those who do not believe in The Lone Gunman, the truth is as plain
as the nose on your face: Sept. 11's terrorist acts were planned and paid for by
the CIA to enable the Bush Administration to "legitimately" bomb Afghanistan
into submission on behalf of the oil industry.

After all, everyone knows the Bush family has strong and long acknowledged ties
to the oil industry, as do other senior members of the administration. Cheney
until recently was president of a company servicing the oil patch. National
Security adviser Condoleeza Rice was a manager for Chevron. Commerce and Energy
Secretaries Donald Evans and Stanley Abraham worked for Tom Brown, another oil
giant.
Follow the money, as they say, and you'll find the smoking gun.
Under this scenario, conspiracy theorists say a pliant Afghan regime was
essential because of plans to pipe central Asian oil across Afghanistan. And
there is a harvest of coincidence and contradiction to feed such imaginings.

Consider first that the intelligence breakdown that led to 9/11 appears to have
been a consequence of the Bush Administration telling the Federal Bureau of
Investigation to back off on its investigation of Middle Eastern terrorism. A
senior FBI investigator resigned from the agency, noisily claiming its main
obstacle in the investigation was Big Oil's political influence. In an ironic
twist of fate, the agent died in the World Trade Center.
(Fox Mulder, was that you? Is that why they cancelled the series?)

There also are recurring reports the CIA station chief in Dubai met with bin
Laden only seven weeks before 9/11 while he was laid up for surgery. (The CIA
denies this, but of course you can't believe anything it says.)
Now think about this for a second: The Independent in London questions how Bush
could claim in two public appearances to have seen the first plane hit the first
tower long before any such TV footage was broadcast. The paper also asks why
Dubya continued sitting with elementary school students after the second tower
was hit and he'd been told, "America is under attack."

Very mysterious, when standard procedure for such a situation is to whisk the
president away to safety. Unless -- and here is the nub -- unless he knew
something more than we did that morning. As the Independent asked, "What
television station was HE watching?"
This is rich stuff for those who see Them under the bed, especially since the
financial miasma melds nicely with the already swirling rumour and insinuation.
In the days before the attacks, there was unusually heavy trading in airline and
related stocks using a market tactic called a "put option" that essentially bets
that a stock will decline in value. If you were Osama, buying puts would be a
great way to boost the value of your investment portfolio.

And sure enough, unusually high numbers of put options were purchased in early
September for the stocks of AMR Corp. and UAL Corp., the parents of American and
United -- each of which had two planes hijacked. The U.S. government is now
investigating suspicious trading in 38 companies directly affected by the events
of Sept. 11.
The initial survey of beneficiaries, however, turns out not to include one tall,
dark-haired, olive-skinned, Allah-loving, Saudi-born sheik. Mainly the
profiteers were blue-chip, establishment, red-white-and-blue Americans, some of
whom were tenants in the collapsed twin towers, such as Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter, Lehman Brothers and the Bank of America, major airlines, cruise
companies, General Motors Corp., Raytheon and others. Several insurance
companies are also on the 38-name list U.S. and Canadian financial firms were
asked to review and compare with their records for any unusual patterns.

(Which may say more about who plays the market than anything else, but why
quibble with the quixotic?)
Cynics are also questioning the incredible speed with which evidence in the WTC
collapse is being destroyed. Never in the history of fire investigations, they
say, has evidence been destroyed before exhaustive investigations are complete.
(Say what? Two skyscrapers' worth of debris should be warehoused?)

And then there were the curious developments swirling around the anthrax public
health hysteria triggered shortly after 9/11. Even dullards can appreciate that
anthrax sent to a top Democrat and to the U.S. media helped unify the nation
behind the war effort while literally shutting down Congress -- a remarkably
useful outcome for Dubya and his gang.
Indeed, specialists in biological warfare say the anthrax appears to be a U.S.
military strain and the culprit a disgruntled American scientist who possesses a
rare combination of laboratory skills that make him (they believe it's a man)
relatively easy to identify. Hmmm.

And who didn't smell a bad odour two weeks ago when Tennessee driver's licence
examiner Katherine Smith died in Memphis under "most unusual and suspicious"
circumstances. One day before her arraignment on charges she conspired to
provide phoney licences to five Arabs tied by the FBI to the 9/11 attacks, her
car crashed into a utility pole. The car was only slightly damaged, the gas tank
was full and intact, but the vehicle was immediately engulfed in flames.
As one report pointed out, Smith and the car interior apparently were doused
with gasoline, which would certainly qualify in my book as at least
"suspicious."
And Memphis ... Memphis? Wasn't that the same place a noted Harvard bio-warfare
expert "fell" off a bridge in December?

Scully!
The truth is out there. I know it. You too can help find it.
If you would like an activist kit to get involved in urging a full public
investigation of 9/11 and its aftermath, reply to
findtruth40@hotmail.com with
"Send kit."

But be warned.
The Pentagon has just established a new Office of Strategic Influence that calls
for the planting of false stories in the foreign press, phoney e-mails from
disguised addresses and other covert activities to manipulate public opinion.
This could be one of them.
